Chapter 20

Thinking of this, Ma Weiliang stopped and stepped up, thinking hard in his mind, not knowing where he had arrived and what he should do now......

"Hey, what are you thinking about there? I didn't answer your questions. Ma Weiliang heard the shout, and then came back to his senses and saw Cao Bingnan's eyes wide open, staring at him.

"I ......" Ma Weiliang hesitated for a moment, but still asked truthfully, "What kind of place is this? How do you feel that it is autumn all of a sudden, and now it is obviously early spring, right?"

Cao Bingnan said with a rare and strange expression: "This is 'Suqiu Valley', no matter what season it is outside, it will always be autumn in the valley, the rice will grow after cutting, and the fruit will bear fruit after picking, and it will never be finished." ”

Ma Weiliang was dumbfounded, he had never heard of such a magical place, like a myth.

"Let's go. Cao Bingnan was used to the surprise of outsiders, but he didn't care at all.

After walking for a while, a grass hut appeared in front of it, and the courtyard in front of the house was surrounded by wooden stakes painted red at the top, and the wooden stakes were covered with fungus like tree tongues. In the courtyard there was an adobe stove with a large iron pot on it, and behind it were several pieces of reclaimed land, also surrounded by the same wooden stakes, with a lot of vegetables and two sheep.

Entering the courtyard, Cao Bingnan took out a bag of cornmeal and water and poured some into the iron basin, stirred a few times, and called the bald guy to eat.

Glancing at Ma Weiliang, Cao Bingnan covered his mouth and smiled, and brought him into the house, where the furnishings were very simple, and her grandmother was not at home.

Cao Bingnan took out a small basin that was also filled with cornmeal and handed it to Ma Weiliang: "Come, eat." ”

"Ugh. Ma Weiliang took the basin, and was confused for a while, how could he treat the dog the same way.

"Why are you stunned?" Cao Bingnan seemed to understand the reason as soon as he finished speaking, and laughed, "Don't worry, yours is different from it, yours uses boiling water." ”

I'm dizzy, does it make any difference?

Ma Weiliang had a headache, and when he was still hesitating to answer, a vigorous and powerful voice outside the window said: "You are seriously injured and just recovered, so you are only suitable for eating some coarse grains." ”

"Grandma is back. Cao Bingnan shoved the bowl into Ma Weiliang's hand and ran out.

Outside the house, an old lady with a stern expression blamed: "You crazy girl, anyone dares to take it at home." ”

"I don't think he's a bad guy, and besides, his injuries are also caused by famous bastards. Seeing his grandmother, Cao Bingnan seemed to be a different person, took his grandmother's hand and said, "He has the same name as the bald guy, don't you say it, no one without hair is a bad person, just show him." ”

"Why are you so abnormal today, girl. The old lady said, "You dead girl, I will only catch long worms, when will I be cured." Even if I could heal, I wouldn't be able to save him. ”

"Ah, why?" Cao Bingnan said anxiously.

"Hmph, he doesn't even dare to tell you his real name, and he probably isn't a good person, maybe he's ungrateful. ”

Ma Weiliang had already gobbled up a bowl of cornmeal, and when he heard this, he instantly broke out in a cold sweat, how could an old lady who had never been masked know.

"Grandma. Cao Bingnan naturally knew the old lady's temper, and tried his best to be coquettish, "He must have his troubles, you can help him, I believe he is not that kind of person." ”

After all, the old lady was from here, and sighed and said, "Alas, well, I can't help you." ”

When the two of them moved into the house, they saw Ma Weiliang holding an empty bowl and was stunned.

"You see, this kid eats as much as a cow, so why do you need me. The old lady said angrily.

"Grandma. Cao Bingnan stomped his feet in disgust.

"Alright, alright. The old lady grabbed Ma Weiliang's wrist violently, and her fingers were on the pulse, so frightened that Ma Weiliang didn't dare to come out.

After a while, the old lady said lightly: "The injury is indeed very serious, the muscles and bones are injured in many places, the blood vessels are broken in several places, and it is invaded by dampness and cold on the night of extreme yin, and the bone marrow is injured." If it is not healed in time, I am afraid it will not exceed twenty hours. ”

Ma Weiliang and Cao Bingnan listened, and their hearts were nervous.

The old lady glanced at the two of them, and then said, "But it's not a big deal, Nan girl, you go and mix the five gall powder I prepared into the cornmeal, mix two large pots, and he will eat it." ”

"Okay. Cao Bingnan agreed, took the medicine from the inner room, took out two large basins, poured in the medicine and cornmeal, and stirred them up.

"Thank you seniors for saving your life," Ma Weiliang knelt on the ground, "because I just escaped from the tiger's mouth and met a fairy in the barren mountains, I didn't dare to report my real name, I didn't expect to be seen through by my predecessors at a glance, and I was really ashamed." My name is Ma Weiliang, and my master is the non-stick master of Kuikui Valley. ”

"Oh, you turned out to be an apprentice who didn't touch, so let's rest here, remember, there is no medicine left. The old lady finished and walked out.

"Come, eat. Cao Bingnan said.

Ma Weiliang complained bitterly, two large pots, and the pigs couldn't eat it. But he finished eating, and fell asleep. When I woke up again, it was close to noon on the third day. After moving his body, he felt that his body was full of strength, and most of the injuries were healed, and it was really a miracle medicine.

"You're up. Cao Bingnan opened the curtain and walked in, holding a bowl of cornmeal in his hand, "Grandma said that you will wake up at this hour, and that's right." ”

Ma Weiliang was hungry for a long time, so he took the bowl and ate it in a big gulp, although he was a little sick to his stomach when he saw the cornmeal, but he finished eating it again.

"Grandma's medicine is really a miracle medicine, and I feel like I'm all right. Ma Weiliang finished eating a few gulps, put down the dishes and chopsticks and said, "I'll go and thank her old man." ”

"You wake up so late, grandma has already gone out. ”

"Oooh. Ma Weiliang also thought of it, and then said, "That troublesome girl thanked her old man for me, and I plan to go back." ”

Cao Bingnan's face was still like frost and said, "What, if you are injured, you want to leave?"

Ma Weiliang looked at Cao Bingnan in a daze, and didn't know how to answer for a while.

Cao Bingnan said: "Grandma cured your illness, according to our Suqiu Valley rules, you have to do farm work for me for a hundred days as compensation!"

"The old man has a life-saving grace for me, not to mention a hundred days, it is a lifetime, and it should be in the future. After the injury recovered, Ma Weiliang finally stopped looking forward and backward, and talked more, "It's just that I made an agreement with my friends earlier, and I fell asleep for two days, I was afraid that they wouldn't find me, so I asked the girl to ......."

"Okay, I really see that you are cured, a big man grinding and chirping. Cao Bingnan interrupted him, "I'll send you back to the Golden Cave, but this account has to be recorded, and you can leave one thing as collateral." ”

Ma Weiliang hurriedly said "yes", and couldn't think of anything that could be mortgaged for a while, so he groped with his hands on his body. Suddenly, Ma Weiliang touched a painting scroll wrapped in cloth, which was the red landscape painting found in the secret room of Pei's mansion, and hurriedly handed it over and said: "This will be left to the girl as a mortgage, and I will come to the valley to be a cow and a horse one day." ”

Cao Bingnan took the painting and threw it into the box next to him: "Okay, the mortgage is there, I have to talk to you about the calculation method of interest, come back to perform the contract within two months, after the deadline, every day that passes within a year, you have to do two more hours of work, if it is more than a year, the mortgage will belong to me, you can't redeem it, do you have any opinions?"

"No opinion! Just do what the girl says!" Ma Weiliang not only didn't want to refuse, but secretly decided to wait for the revenge to be avenged, so he came to the valley to work as a laborer for the rest of his life.

"Fairy, you're not a cold person, so why can't you be gentle with me?"

Cao Bingnan looked at Ma Weiliang and said lightly: "Sister's gentleness is very expensive!"

"Ugh. Ma Weiliang was speechless, so he had to get up and paced back and forth in the house, he was seriously injured when he came, and he didn't pay attention to it all the time, but now in order to resolve the embarrassment, he has time to appreciate it.

The furnishings in the house are simple, there is only one cabinet, and a few simple paintings are pasted on the wall. Ma Weiliang looked around and found that the paintings were all the same kind of animals - snakes, with different shapes, ring-like patterns, some covered in pitch black, some with horns on their foreheads, and some with ribbed wings, but they all had one thing in common, they all had four legs.

Ma Weiliang asked, "Girl, who drew these snakes?"

"It's all painted by my grandmother, and these are her treasures. ”

"I have lived in the mountains since I was a child, and I have seen a lot of snakes, how can they have long legs. Grandma's snake painting is very expressive, but it just adds four more legs. Ma Weiliang said, reaching out and touching the snake's feet.

Cao Bingnan hurriedly shouted: "Don't touch it!"

But it was still a step too late, and the snake's body twitched, as if it was about to break free from the canvas and get down, so frightened that Ma Weiliang took a few steps back and almost sat on the ground.

"Not only is it rare and strange, but its hands and feet are not honest. Cao Bingnan said angrily, "You know, this is not the snake's feet, but the four chains that bind the snake, once there is no restraint, the snake will fly out of the canvas." ”

Ma Weiliang exclaimed: "Grandma is so powerful, any snake drawn can become real?"

"It's not so much a painting on a canvas as it is more accurate to capture and imprison it in the cloth, grandma's magical powers, how can you imagine. Cao Bingnan felt a little proud in his heart, but he didn't reveal it, "Didn't you make an appointment with someone and leave in a hurry, why didn't you stay here again." ”

"Yes, let's go. Ma Weiliang said to Cao Bingnan with some embarrassment, "Save Daen, I don't want to work hard anymore, but I don't know the way, I'm afraid it will be difficult to return to the place I came from, and I have to trouble the girl and the good person to do it to the end and send it back." ”

Cao Bingnan said freely: "Add another twenty days of farm work." ”

"Okay!" Ma Weiliang did not hesitate.

The two of them went out of the yard with a dog, and Cao Bingnan picked some melons, fruits, pears and peaches from the fruit trees from time to time and put them in a cloth bag. Every time I finish picking it, the same fruit grows again.

Ma Weiliang asked without a match: "You just said that the cave we met is called the Hidden Gold Cave?"
